(ITS#6589) Patch - Mozilla NSS - support use of self signed CA certs as server certs



Full_Name: Rich Megginson
Version: 2.4.23
OS: Fedora
URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/openldap-2.4.23-selfsignedcacert-20100714.patch
Submission from: (NULL) (76.113.111.209)


MozNSS doesn't like self-signed CA certs that are also used for 
TLS/SSL server certs (such as generated by openssl req -x509)
CERT_VerifyCertificateNow returns SEC_ERROR_UNTRUSTED_ISSUER in that case
so, see if the cert and issuer are the same cert, and allow the
use of it (with a warning)
